Abstract

Reading is one of the critical skills in learning English in which students can develop their cognition, build vocabulary, as well as bring enjoyment. Extensive reading is known as one of the useful approaches to build students’ vocabulary repertoires by engaging students to read as much as they can be based on their appropriate reading level. Therefore, this survey study aims to find out how the students perceive their reading experiences in the extensive reading, how this approach increases their English vocabulary, as well as their reading comprehension. For the data collection technique, we distributed questionnaires for 40 undergraduate students in their second and fourth semester in the English department. To gain more comprehensive data, we also interviewed 20 students. The results of this study revealed that the majority of students show their positive response to and perception of extensive reading. We also found that this approach impacts the progress of students’ reading comprehension as well as the development of their vocabulary building. The findings of this study shed light on students’ perceptions of extensive reading and how it impacts their vocabulary building and reading comprehension. This study prompts further studies to examine the effectiveness of extensive reading on vocabulary learning of English foreign language students in various reading levels.

Abstract

Motivation for online learning is decreased in the past pandemic virus Covid-19. For this reason, self-regulation plays an important role in order to control students’ thoughts and feelings in achieving learning goals. Motivation and self-regulation are aspects necessary in the English learning process. This study was conducted to find out the factors affecting students’ motivation and self-regulation toward online learning. A descriptive qualitative method was used to explain the phenomena through an interview by using open-ended questions to 10 students as a representation. The result shows that there are seven significant elements that give motivational and self-regulated effects to them toward online learning; objectives, task strategy, time management, help-seeking, teaching presence (homogeneous instructional design: structure and layout of OL platforms), interest, and competence. Self-regulation is essential to direct and regulate students’ cognitive processes during online learning. For sure, both cannot be separated from students’ daily life. These attract the attention of the lecturers to the fact that students are not only language receivers but persons with hearts, feeling, and identities. Students and lecturers should work together to integrate those things to achieve successful English learning goals.

Abstract

This research examines the pragmatic aspects of deixis and reference in song lyrics. Pragmatics is concerned with how speakers or writers convey meaning, and how listeners or readers interpret it. Deixis refers to linguistic elements that directly refer to the personal, temporal, or locational characteristics of the situation in which an utterance occurs. The study explores the different types of deixis, including person deixis, spatial deixis, temporal deixis, discourse deixis, and social deixis, and their role in establishing meaning and creating a connection between the songwriter and the audience. Reference, on the other hand, focuses on the identification of things in the world, with deixis serving as the mechanism for achieving reference. The analysis highlights the importance of context in determining the referents of deictic expressions and the impact of deixis and reference in conveying the songwriter's intended message. By understanding the pragmatic use of deixis and reference in song lyrics, researchers and readers can gain insights into the communicative strategies employed by songwriters and the ways in which meaning is constructed within the lyrics.

Abstract

Studies about an attitude toward learning English have been conducted almost everywhere because of its important influence on the English learning process. The attitude can be categorized into three components namely cognitive, affective/emotional, and behavioral. The study is focused on the emotional component which covers the person’s emotions and feeling towards an object. It can directly affect one’s preferences in order to stand for or against or to like or dislike something. Due to the pandemic situation where all the subjects must be done virtual, the researcher attempts to explore what are students’ emotional attitudes toward the virtual oral presentation. The researcher finds it interesting since virtual learning is an uncommon method for students, especially in doing an oral presentation as well as the novelty of the previous related study. The research objective is to find out the students’ emotional attitudes towards oral presentation in virtual learning, especially in the fifth semester of the English education study program at Pattimura University. This study applied a survey as a research design by using a Questionnaire and Interview. The subject of this study consists of fifteen students who enrolled in SLA class. The result of the questionnaire showed that most students in the second language acquisition (SLA) class held a positive attitude toward the virtual oral presentation. The majority or 12 students (80%) strongly agreed that the oral presentation in virtual learning is more fun and preferable. On the other hand, 11 students (73.3%) strongly agreed that it reduces their anxiety level and also improves their self-confidence. In conclusion, it benefits so much to improve their motivation in English virtual learning compared to face-to-face oral presentations. In a face-to-face class, they had high speaking anxiety by having a great fear of getting involved in a conversation, great fear of the audience, and a great fear of failure. In addition, further researchers can focus on the technology application in virtual learning and its impact on students’ language ability as the novelty element of this study.

Abstract

Literacy has always become the hottest topic in education field. Critical literacy is a stance, mental posture, or emotional and intellectual attitude that readers, listeners, and viewers bring to bear as they interact with texts. The strength of teaching and learning a language such as English is to develop critical literacy in this case to enhance students’ comprehension of narrative texts. Narrative text is writing in which a story is told, the details may be fictional or based on fact. There are many ways that students demonstrate their understanding of narrative text. There are two diagnostic strategies used to enhance students’ comprehension of a text. The first is anticipation guide, and the second is My turn/Your turn. Anticipation guide is an effective way to activate students’ ideas and information about a topic. Before reading a selection, hearing a presentation, or viewing a film, students respond to several statements that will support or challenge their prior knowledge about the subject. The point is that they can understand and give response to each statement. The anticipation guide strategy can motivate students to give opinion and to discuss in small group. The teacher can assess students’ attitude along the learning activity. She/he also measured students’ reading ability to understand the text given. While, My turn/Your turn is a strategy of pushing students to explore their ideas and perceptions on the article or the text given to them. Through this activity, they conversed to each other and gave opinion, and also finished their worksheet. Implication of this study impacts on English teachers’ role especially in reading skills to be implemented effectively and efficiently to engage students’ comprehension by proposing diagnostic materials.
